moles of electrons transferred during reduction
M^n+ + n e- –> M solid
1 F=
96000 C or J/V
electrodeposition equation
mol of metal =It/nF
I is current t is time
“calculating the moles of a metal is not fun”
standard emf of cell
E cell = E red, cathode- E red, anode (don’t use coeff)
standard change in free energy from standard emf
delta G= -nFEcell
unit is J because F in J so be careful
nernst equation
E of cell non standard= E cell std - (RT/nF)(ln Q)
nernst simple
E cell nonstandard= E cell std - 0.06/n log Q
at 298 K
reaction quotient Q
Q= [C]^c [D]^d / [A]^a [B]^b
standard change in free energy from keq
delta G= -RT ln Keq
free energy change nonstandard
delta G= delta G std + RT ln Q
the more positive E red,
the more likely to be reduced
peroxide
H2O2
and O has an ox number of -1
